    Thank you. I learned the Moss stitch in the round and love it. C2C has always been my go to afghan so I can’t wait to combine them. After watching a few other tutorials and a written pattern, yours was the easiest to see and understand. 😊. I plan to start with a dishcloth then on to lap blankets for Veterans.

    Its always neat to see how other stores across the country compare. My Joanns is always kind of a mess & the prices there often seem so high. Princeton you might mention to subscribers to even check often that they are still subscribed. I've often been unsubscribed from channels & have heard others say the same thing, one of those crazy TH-cam things. Hope you're having a great weekend. 💜🤗
